DOOR-HASP.

To all lwlw/m, t may conce/rn:

Be it known that I, Gnocca E. Seymour, residing at New Albany, Floydcounty, India-na, and being a citizen of the United States, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Door-Ilasps, of whichthe :following is a full, clear and exact description, such as willenable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and touse the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, whichillustrate the preferred form of the invention, though it is to beunderstood that the invention is not limited to the exact details ofconstruction shown and described, as it is obvious that variousmodifications thereof will occur to persons skilled in the art.

In said drawings: Figure l is a view in side elevation of a haspembodying the features of the present invention, a fragment of the doorbeing illustrated. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical central sectiontherethrough taken on the plane indicated by line 2--2 of Fig. l. Fig. 3is a view similar to Fig. 2 illustrating a moditied form of staple.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive doorhasp and to so construct the same that when not in use it may be throwninto a position within the planes of the opposite side faces of thedoor.

The device is particularly adapted for use upon sliding doors and' whennot in use leaves the opposite surfaces of the door entirely withoutobstructions which would hinder' the free movement of the door betweenthe walls of the door pocket.

I have illustrated the invention as being applied to a double-plate doorand in such a structure it comprises a casing fitted between the platesof the door and fixed to each of said plates in such manner as toreinforce and stiifen the plates, the rivets employed for fastening thecasing to one of the door plates serving also for fixing a springadapted for yieldingly maintaining the hasp in either' of its positions.

Referring to the drawing by numerals: l, l indicate the side plates of asliding door adapted to slide within a closely fitting pocket, notillustrated. rlhe outer plate l at the lower outer corner thereof isformed Specification of Letters Patent.

with an opening' 2, and between the plates l and sl'lrrounding saidopening is a cast casing 3 having side walls l5 outlining the opening 2,said walls tlangeifl as at t, 4l, and the [langes connected with theinside of the outer plate l by rivets 5. The back of the casing 3secured to an inner plate 1 by rivets G, which rivets also engage andretain the fixed end of the longitudinally disposed relatively tiatspring 7. A pin 8 extends across and through the walls of easing 3 andforms the pivot for the hasp proper 9. l-lasp 9 may be of any preferredshape adapting it to pivotally engage pin S and extend at time,outwardly past door post 10, the pivoted end of the hasp being foi-inedwith a flattened portion 1l, and the side of the hasp with a similarflattened portion 12, said tlat tened portions being' designed to beengaged by the flat face oit. spring 7 for firmly retaining the hasp ineither its open position, as indicated in full lines in Fig. 2, or inits closed position, as imlicated in dotted .lines in said ligure, theouter end of hasp 9 is formed with an opening 13 disposed, when the haspis in the open position, to register with an eye lli :formed in thellange of one of the beams comprising post l0.

.ln operation, when the door is to be opened, the hasp S.) is swung toits closed position, as iiulicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2, and thedoor is slid edgewise back into its pocket, the `hasp being entirely outof the way and not in any way .interfering with the sliding action ofthe door. lVhen it is desired to lock the door same is slid to itsclosed position and the hasp swung outwardly to the position indicatedin full lines in Fig. 2, and the lock is passed through the eye lll andthe opening 13, thus locking the door in its closed condition.

As indicated in Fig. 53, the invention is obviously not restricted tothe type of staple or other attaching means, and in said figure theimproved hasp is indicated as engaging a staple Al5 carried by door postl0.
